Guest access
Seamless Check-In: Arrive on your own schedule! Self check-in is available anytime after 3:00 PM using a unique passcode on our Yale x Nest smart lock.

Parking: Ample parking is available on any of the graveled or flagstone areas. (Please do not park on the grass, as it sits above our sensitive septic system).

Restricted Areas: To ensure a safe and smooth stay, locked owner's cupboards, the basement crawl space, neighbouring cottages, the shed, and the tin boat are strictly off-limits.

Other things to note
Pet Friendly: We welcome your hypoallergenic furry friends! Please keep them supervised, pick up after them, and ensure they do not wander onto neighbouring properties. We even provide dog life jackets for safe swimming.

Sensitive Septic System: Country plumbing requires a little extra care. Please flush only human waste and the provided toilet paper. Absolutely no wipes (even "flushable" ones), paper towels, or feminine hygiene products.

Peace & Quiet: Sound travels far over open water. To respect our beautiful community, please keep voices and music to a minimum, especially during the township's strict quiet hours between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM.

Fire Safety: Campfires are a cottage country staple, but safety comes first. No daytime burning is permitted between April 1 and October 31, and guests must verify that no local fire bans are in effect before lighting a fire.

Security Cameras: For your safety and property security, there are four exterior cameras on the premises (two doorbell cameras, one camera pointing at the driveway, and one pointing toward the lake). There are absolutely no cameras located inside the cottage.

Licensed Rental: We operate as a fully licensed short-term rental, ensuring we meet all local municipal safety and operational standards for your peace of mind.
